3D Film Nears Completion After Four Years of Steady Production

Los Angeles (I-Newswire) November 12, 2012 - Summertime Entertainment recently released several new images from its upcoming film “Dorothy of Oz,” starring “Glee’s” Lea Michele who voices Dorothy Gale.

After four solid years of production (meeting the average production timeline for a feature animated film), the film is still a work-in-progress, but nearing completion. Soon, Roger Stanton Baum’s popular book, “Dorothy of Oz” will be on the big screen worldwide as a 3D CG animated feature film.

“Dorothy of Oz” is a 3D CG animated feature produced by Summertime Entertainment. The film stars Lea Michele (Dorothy), Martin Short (The Jester), Jim Belushi (Lion), Dan Aykroyd (Scarecrow), Kelsey Grammer (Tin Man), Megan Hilty (China Princess), Hugh Dancy (Marshal Mallow), Oliver Platt (Wiser the Owl), Patrick Stewart (Tugg) and Bernadette Peters (Glinda). The film begins where one of the world’s most popular and beloved fairy tales, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum, ends, and continues Dorothy’s journey via the further adventure books written by Baum’s great-grandson, Roger Stanton Baum.
